The Fire & Ice Facial is an intensive clinical treatment known in Hollywood as “The Red Carpet Facial”. What makes this facial treatment unique is that, unlike other facials, it doesn’t just improve the appearance of the skin’s texture; the Fire & Ice Facial actually changes the skin at the cellular level.

The Fire & Ice Facial is a combination of an intensive exfoliating peel and a luxurious facial in one single session. You’ll find your skin resurfaced, blocked pores cleaned, and wrinkles reduced, leaving behind a smooth, healthy glow.

How Does the Fire & Ice Facial Work?

When you indulge in a Fire & Ice Facial, you can expect a multi-step treatment that consists of two masque applications that will help you:

• Resurface your skin to reveal a smooth, healthy glow
• Treat problematic skin
• Clear acne and improve acne scarring
• Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
• Encourage the natural cellular renewal of your skin

The Fire & Ice Facial begins first with the Fire: an intensive resurfacing masque that is clinically formulated to safely and effectively resurface your skin.

What’s in the Fire?

The Fire is a clinically formulated resurfacing masque that is potent with antioxidants, botanical acids, retinol, and niacin–powerful ingredients that help to resurface your skin, without experiencing any residual peeling. The result is radiantly resurfaced skin that doesn’t come with the baggage of downtime.

Following the Fire, the Ice is applied to help intensively hydrate your newly resurfaced skin. Designed to cool and soothe, it will leave your skin tight, firm, and glowing.

What’s in the Ice?

The Ice is a rejuvenating masque that helps to soothe, nourish, and hydrate your resurfaced skin after the Fire. Packed with the ingredients that naturally restore the skin’s balance (hyaluronic acid and aloe vera), the masque is a light gel formulation designed to soothe and refresh your skin following resurfacing.

WHAT IS A CHEMICAL PEEL?

A chemical peel is a treatment used to improve skin texture and tone. An acid is applied to the skin to lower the pH, which loosens the connections between dead skin cells, including exfoliation and stimulating new cell growth. This process causes superficial layers of dead skin to peels off, revealing a smoother and more radiant complexion.
Chemical peels have been used dating back to Ancient Egypt, according to some sources, Cleopatra used sour milk to improve the appearance of her skin.

ALUMIER MD'S CHEMICAL PEEL PHILOSOPHY

At Upkeep Skin Clinic, we offer superficial to medium depth AlumierMD® peels, which are known for their excellent results and safety profile. We believe in repeated treatment for progressive and gradual results to avoid side effects and downtime associated with deeper peels. Our peels are only performed by highly trained skin care professionals to ensure that they are delivered safely and effectively.

Chemical peels work by deeply exfoliating the surface layers of the skin, forcing your body to quickly replenish it with new cells. When peels are performed regularly, the skin gets used to this process and begins to rejuvenate itself like younger skin. To be sure that the doesn’t react to the exfoliation as it would to trauma, which can lead to pigment changes, exfoliation must be introduced gradually giving the skin time to adjust.

TREATMENT EXPECTATION

Beautiful skin doesn’t happen overnight, and treatments take time to show results. A single chemical peel can provide the immediate effect of bright and radiant skin; more significant results in treating textural issues, fine lines and inflamed acne could take up to eight weeks.Using home care products consistently and as directed to achieve optimal results. Just as you take time to exercise, you need to take time for your ‘daily skin care workout regime’
